Solid but too hasty about the itinerary. Frequently rushing us to the car by waving and clapping han
The itinerary is overall fine since we are in the budget group. In Chinese old saying “一分钱一分货” the overall accommodation and food is just fine for budget group. I won’t complain about that. It’s the attitude that I want to complain about.
This is a lifetime experience for both of us. We wanted to enjoy. But the guide has been kind of indifferent about this. When we were taking pictures, he kept rushing by waving us and clapping hands. We didn’t have the chance to take some photos we liked. The photos with qilimanjaro and photos with some animals. He kept scrolling on his phone while game driving, watching local news. He was not keen about finding animals for us just follow the fixed route.
As in the same group, we two and other Indian friends were picked up earliest and dropped off the lastest. I don’t know if it’s discrimination against Asians or what. I didn’t want to pay the tips at the end, but since the guide asked I paid 100usd for me and my girlfriend for the 7days trip. I paid it not for recognition but just because he asked.
Besides maybe it’s budget group Some of The workers in hotels are not so friendly either. In Naivasha. I found two bags in our room which were ours. I asked the manager. They said that they have to switch our room from double room to twin room since the original room was others without even apologising, my girlfriend was quite sad about this. In the camp at ambosali. This happened again but in a worse way. The manager waved me over and kept me waiting until he finished talking on the phone than than me they have to change our room. I’m okay with the reason because again this is a budget group. But I don’t like the way I am treated
I will come to Africa again. But not Kenya maybe some where else
I guess the lesson is choose your guide if possible and be ware of the bad attitude

The one with the power of nature
Amazing Safari Experience!
We had the most wonderful time on this safari as a family of 6! Idris organized everything beautifully and was incredibly quick to respond to all our questions — you can tell he really knows how to put together a smooth, well-run trip.
A special shoutout to our guide, Apollo — he is a true nature man! He genuinely seems to hear the whispers of the wild, and his knowledge and passion made every moment feel magical. If you're booking this safari, do yourself a favor and request Apollo as your guide — you won't regret it.
The whole team did an amazing job from start to finish. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari experience with family!
Africa Zim was an incredible team - highly trusted, super friendly and very knowledgeable
We had an incredible time with Africa Zim team they arranged a perfectly scheduled and rich experience for us. Our family of 6 including a 10 yr and 16 yr old had the most magical adventure we always dreamed of. Pamela and Sharon worked closely with us to schedule the trip and delightful and our driver & tour guide Kudzie was kind and very competent. We went to local places and the tourist highlights. Chobe visit could easily be 2-3 days with the land and boat safari, Hwange was further but my favorite as it was even more of a local destination. Go to Miombo safari lodge in Hwange and you will love the more rustic and local safari - Tok is the best guide. I can’t say enough about Africa Zim team but they are trusted and very efficient and kind.

A perfect African safari anniversary trip
My husband and I went to Tanzania for our 25th anniversary. We chose Lion King for the numerous 5-star reviews. From the emails and WhatsApp calls to customize our trip to the fantastic team members at the lodges, everything was professionally and courteously handled. Even when we didn’t know if our bank transfer would get there in time, we were reassured by the owner Jim that everything was going to be fine. Our guide Youssef was phenomenal with his friendly demeanour and extensive knowledge of the wildlife. The accommodation was luxurious, comfortable, with great staff and amenities. I would highly recommend them to anyone planning on going to Tanzania. Asante sana Lion King.
